Because of the volume of
mail, we regret we cannot individually answer submitted
questions. However, if a reader’s question has broad interest,
I will answer it in a forthcoming Technology Q&A column.

On occasion you may find you cannot implement a function
I describe in this column. More often than not it’s because
not all functions work in every operating system or
application. I try to test everything in the 2000 and XP
editions of Windows and Office. It’s virtually impossible to
test them in all editions and it’s equally difficult to find
out which editions are incompatible with a function. I
apologize for the inconvenience.
